This residency supports innovative and engaged studio practices, encouraging residents to integrate the local community and the town’s rich history into their work. The program aims to foster transformative dialogue through education, exhibition, and publication. Residents have access to a variety of historic sites, providing a culturally rich setting for creative exploration.

Each term hosts 2 artists and 1 writer, promoting an intimate and focused creative atmosphere. Through partnerships with local organizations, the residency connects artists and writers with broader cultural and educational opportunities.
